“Xen Cloud Platform is open source software to combat VMware’s vCloud. It forms a bridge between clouds inside and outside a business,†said Mark Templeton, President & CEO of Citrix Systems, at a press briefing on September 4 while visiting Japan.
Xen Cloud Platform was announced on August 31, 2009 by Xen.org (currently under the realm of Citrix), the developer of Xen virtual machine software. This platform uses Xen to achieve interoperability between virtual machine systems. It uses OVF (Open Virtualization Format) as the virtual machine format for virtual disks and so on. This enables interoperability (migration of virtual machines, etc.) between external virtual machine services that support Xen Cloud Platform and virtual machines operated within businesses using Citrix XenServer.
Templeton referred to external virtual machine services provided on the Internet as “public external clouds,†and groups of virtual machines operated within businesses as “private/internal clouds.†He emphasized that Xen Cloud Platform links the two types of clouds.
Among the participants in Xen Cloud Platform are processor makers AMD and Intel, hardware makers Dell, Fujitsu, NetApp, as well as Cloudera, Eucalyptus Systems, GoGrid, and VA Linux Japan. Said Templeton: “Xen Cloud Platform has wide-ranging support from the computer industry, and an eco-system already exists.†He said Citrix intends to use open source and open formats like OVF as an advantage to combat VMware and Microsoft.
